Hello I want to ask you if you have found this ye
This was found growing on a stem of what I think is Solidago in New York City.
The apothecia are waxy and very small, pale-yellow, with pseudo-stipe (certainly not sessile).
Asci were hemiamyloid—red in Lugol's— blue in Lugol's pretreated with KOH; size about 75 x 6µm.
Spores 1-septate, guttulate, 11-14.7 x 2.5-3.5µm
Paraphyses septate, enlarged toward the apex, about 2.7µm wide.
This looks a lot like Calycina herbarum to me, but spore size seems like it is at the smaller end of the range, so maybe there are other options I should consider?
Any help is very appreciated.
Ethan
